I recommend watching Juno's entire playlist on naloxone harm reduction. they're a harm reduction educator and substance user and they have more intimate knowledge than the sterile pamphlets that medical institutions put out.

people often get agitated because you're forcing them into acute opioid withdrawal by administering too much naloxone. the nasal type that most civilians have access to contains 4 mg vs the 0.4 mg intramuscular that EMS workers administer. this comes out to a 5 times higher dose than strictly necessary. source:

Based on a relative bioavailability of 50%, an initial 2 mg Naloxone Hydrochloride Nasal Spray dose would be considered equivalent to 1 mg IM dose and a 4 mg Naloxone Hydrochloride Nasal Spray dose would be equivalent to 2 mg IM dose, which corresponds with the maximum recommended initial dose in adult clinical guidelines.

I can't say there's an easy alternative but anyone who's able should contact harm reduction orgs to get trained in administering intramuscular naloxone. nasal works too, but be mindful that the person you're "helping" is gonna have probably the worst day of their life.

people should also be aware there's a lot of seemingly helpful information out there influenced by copaganda warning civilians that substance users are dangerous/violent and to stay away/call the cops. this is a fucked up way to do harm reduction and really dehumanizing to substance users.

edit: replaced precipitated withdrawal with acute opioid withdrawal.

I've yet to come across an AI shill that can demonstrate a modicum of reading comprehension. none of your points disprove what I said

"we've open sourced the nuclear button, Viva la resistance 🛠️" 🤦🏻‍♀️

wdym by process will become more important than product?

yeah what it leads to in practice is the original art style of the victim being scrutinized due to "looking like AI art".

like, no, the AI actually looks like this art style because so many techbros stole it without crediting the artist and now everybody thinks that the style belongs to the AI overlords.

it's happened to me a few times where I see gorgeous art and I second-guess myself for a split second when I see certain digital art styles.

that is a horrible experience to have as an art enjoyer and concerning how few so-called "tech enthusiasts" actually value the human beings that led to them enjoying art.

they've been so brainwashed by AI propaganda and bootstraps ideology that they can't imagine a future that's worse than today because corporate tech futurism so often labels cyberpunk futures as utopia

it lacks some of the few good features that discord actually has like seeing who's in a voice chat before popping in and soundboards in voice chat.

from what I remember they use Jitsi calls. I love that Jitsi exists as an alternative to Zoom but compared to Discord it is indeed a subpar experience. when calling with friends over VPN it is an unusable option due to the lag. this might admittedly be due to us using a free instance I found over a commercial option like Discord has

except actual humans do work on that and get royalties for shadow producing those pre-recorded sets. not comparable

except AI isn't human, obviously. so corporations can deploy millions of instances to churn out slop while crediting no one, thus erasing all the cultures that went into said slop.

while all the remaining artists become even more impoverished from the devaluing of their art. there's a name for this behavior if a human was doing it, it's called being a scab

because it's not a discord alternative

beautihandsome indeed!

what's the difference between the engine and the browser itself? is it similar to the Linux kernel vs the Debian user space?

so you agree with the fascist part? not surprising

you could probably use a fit-tested elastomeric respirator to filter out those particles!

I think a P100 filter should be able to take care of your problem, as I've heard many people use them for allergies.

there's also the added bonus of COVID/insert pathogen protection since airports and airplanes are a leading cause of super-spreaders

oh look it's a suit and tie fascist, they're so polite about their bigotry! here you go 🍪

it looks Photoshopped in

I know there's a way on the XDA forums to do it without going through Xiaomi. Also, in case your only option left is to run their software, you might be able to pull it off by spinning up a Windows VM and using USB passthrough?

that it's an artificially engineered "crisis" by the medical industrial complex to justify modern day discrimination and refuse to provide healthcare to fat people, Black people, etc

podcast episode on this

and the consensus used to be that race science is a great idea. great job in rebranding that in fat phobia!

you're what we call in the fat community one of the "good fats". just know that what you're promoting is pseudoscience and not conducive to "health" whatever that means

what you're doing here is mansplaining science by refusing to keep up to date on the recent research that's only recently starting to make it acceptable in the scientific literature what's been known all along by indigenous people and survivors of famine. that is that food scarcity doesn't cause weight loss, it causes systemic retention of fat to survive life threatening scenarios.

in the epigenetics field as well it is well known that famine trauma propagates through generations, which is exemplified by Irish people tending towards larger sizes on average.

you're also idolizing medics and the medical field by not acknowledging that they're humans just like us and therefore not devoid of biases. the field is extremely white and man-centric, therefore refusing to accept any science that doesn't benefit their class interests. eugenics is common practice in medicine nowadays, you can see it in the way fatness is criminalized and punished through violence by most doctors.

thanks for the recs, will check them out!
